Really hope things pick up for you. Sounds like a concoction but hopefully given a bit of time they may combine to ease things in the short term. Still to settle on my meds as chopped ande changed but still struggling on things. Hopefully double dose of trazedoene and fluoxetine might kick it to help sleep n get me through the day and night good luck and believe that things will get better. Might not feel it know but from someone who recovered before stronger prior to relapse you will get ther. Take care x

[leehow79]

Try calm down please and I think the drugs you took night affected it and doctors is very easily to give those to people which is not good. I try determind to not go on any anti depressant tablets as I'm scared of side effects and how will I feel when I decide to wean off so only the way I have to do things to keep myself busy, join gym soon, see counselling every week hopefully and keep away from google. Have you tried sea salt for bath from sainsbury and relax yourself in and it will remove toxins in your body it might helps with your mind & well being? It's £3.99 and worth a try as I bought it today, very good and will show you photo on here.

Try drink chamomile flowers tea I mentioned other day

Stay calm and stop thinking about being ill as it will make you feel worse.

Go out for walk to burn all the aderaline

Read books before bed time

Use sea salt in bath every night as its full of magnesium which is good for your health include muscles, stress also body ache.

Think positive and stop feeding your bad thoughts to it as it will keep going in circles non stop

But even so really apreciate advice + will also buy bath salts. I jst need 2 find antidepressant that i can hopfuly tolerate. leavin u wiv my luv + prayers.xx

Just want to say, There is no miracle cure for how you feel but I think you should be very careful taking so many psychiatric drugs. They can have some horrendous , sometimes permanant side effects and taken long term they can cause heart attacks, strokes and liver and kidney disorders. If you really want to get well , do not get addicted to these type of drugs!. If you could get them out of your system you would feel better, then just work on finding the CAUSE of your anxiety. Ask your GP to investigate possible physical causes such as thyroid or iron defficiency. Cut out tea and coffee for a week and drink cammomile tea and horlicks and keep taking vitamin B complex. Do something relaxing like going swimming or just soaking in a hot bath with lavender oil and soft music. Dwelling on everything only makes matters worse. Please tell me, what do you worry about in your life ? Do you have a lot of stress. It could be a combination of things causing your distress. You need to focus on anything positive that you have in your life, whatever it is. Please dont give up. Were you like this as a child?

[Minnie12 in reply to Optimistic9]

I agreed with what you have said. Anti depressant is not a solutions really only short term I think but there is lots of things you can tackle with by exercise, drink chamomile tea, taking vitamins, long soak in hot bath, relaxing and read books etc

[Optimistic9 in reply to Minnie12]

Thanks, you sound very caring and sensible. All the best

[leehow79 in reply to Optimistic9]

Totaly agree wiv u, am leavin diazepam alone. Gonna not take anythin thats not nesessity, but will need 2 try the new anti depressant bcause i suffer frm really bad clinical depression + will go mental wivout it. But this is lst try if cant tolerate these also, am gonna take st johns wort. Had a difficult childhood + adulthood, but cant find a link btween these. Suffered wiv bad clinical depression frm an early age but only time had anxiety b4 like this was wen pregnant + ended up on phyciatric ward. Cant find any link 2 my anxiety, not worried about anythin only about living like this 4eva. But in september had distressin news about my only child, she 14 + she been havin problems, found her wiv a tie round her neck cause she was distressed about goin 2 school. Theres a lot more + worse 2 it, 2 much 2 go in2 detail. She bein tested 4 autism also. This news devastated me, went in2 shock + felt like i was grievin but prior 2 this no anxiety.

[Optimistic9 in reply to leehow79]

Im so sorry, you must be so worried. I think all this with your daughter is wearing you down. Did you find out from her whats been happening at school ? . Is she being bullied?. Its a funny age because their hormones are changing like the weather and they see things totally different to us. Be careful if psychologists are involved with your child as they tend to overanalyse kids these days and also label them when they are just kids!. Give your daughter lots of hugs and support and try and stay close to her. She will need you more than ever because your mum is the one person in your life who is always on your side and doesnt label or judge. Suggest an outing together, somewhere nice. It will do you both good. She needs you and you need her. Dont let anyone come between you. Autism is just a label. There is no valid blood or laboratory test to prove it . Kids are very unpredictable and go through lots of phases. Whatever you do let her know your on her side

WARNING. Do NOT take St.Johns Wort with antidepressants. This is extremely dangerous. You should wait at least two weeks after coming off antidepressants before taking herbal remedies and only after you have consulted your GP. I have seen some serious repercussions when this is done. j.

[Hidden in reply to Optimistic9]

If I may say so without giving offence the only person to diagnose is a diagnostician. A qualified medical practitioner. The taking of vitamin B with certain drugs can have a harmful effect. As can the taking of St.Johns Wort with antidepressants. I also find it difficult to understand why anyone would want to describe illnesses such as the above to someone who is in a nervous state. The last thing anyone with Health Anxiety wants to hear is that. j.

[Minnie12]

I understand as I think your body might be full of mix drugs and confusing your body? It's like your body trying to tell you enough is enough and want a break from tablets? I'm not too sure? Try salt bath, no googles to research things, drink lots chamomile tea much as you can, try relax and please please don't ever do anything stupid ok? You will get there with helps from professional people also try stay calm, relax and don't think about it. I know its not easy but you can!! I felt but calmer today than yesterday cos I dragged myself to paint the cloarkroom, went to 4 shops, relax in hot bath with salt and keep away from google and reaslied my anxiety seem calmer & less this evening because I'm relaxing and let worries be there without bothering me but don't feed them. Don't think negative thoughts ok? Xxx

hello, it sounds like your having a bad time with it all at the moment which i can majorly sympathise with. talking from my own experience, attending regular counselling (psychodynamic i would suggest) could really help you! you say you are having difficulty with identifying any links from childhood etc, a counsellor will help you with this. the aim is once you have recognised the root of your problem, you will then increase your amount of control of the panic, stress and anxiey you suffer from, you can find ways that work for you to improve your life and consequently your surrounding relationships. i have suffered from depression whilst pregnant as i was extremely ill with hypremisis losing 3 stone in the process and hospitalised 5 times on drips etc, now i suffer from exreme anxiety panic attacks the lot. its horrible but i have been attending counselling for 2 years now without medication and it has improved its great to talk to someone with no judgements please please try this it does not have to be expsenive either, your daughter may benefit from this too as talking can help more than alot of people realise. i have also been doing an open university course on psychology which has given me a sense of meaning, a purpose, valued. of corse being a mum is my most important role as he is my life and i love him to pieces he he...but now i have something just for me. the best part is that i am learning so much about myself and striving towards a career. i know it dont seem like it now but just gaining some control over these feelings through counselling your life will improve. please let me know how you get on...xxx

Speak to you GP , lee

What ever meds you are on , if you take one , stop one , start another , this will make you feel worse than ever

If you are not happy with what they have given you & dont like the way they make you feel (which I understand ) depending how long & so on you have been taking them , there may be a way they would like you to come of them , otherwise this may cause you to feel worse , they are the experts , you dont have to take tablets , I dont , but its always wise if you want to stop not to mess with them without getting the experts advice

Please speak to them & make sure what you are doing is what they suggest , like I say if you dont want to take them , no one is forcing you , but ...if you want to stop them "check with them if what you are doing is the best way

Let us no how you go on

Rply button not workin, sorry.

[tintin5187]

So sorry you have had such an upsetting time. I definitely agree with the others about seeing a therapist/specialist. I have been to therapist through docs and trick is tell them everything that has happened as to why you may be feeling this way. It is hard and its going to be upsetting reliving it all but they will help hun. They have so many contacts etc which could help you further. I hope you start to feel better soon, Be strong & Take care x x x

[leehow79]

Yeah thanku so much. Feelin very ill still, took my lst med yesterday. jst seem 2 b overly sensitive 2 meds. seem the phycotherapist on thursday, she was only very young + couldnt put her finger on the cause but in september had some very traumatic news about my only child + this seemed 2 hav set it off + now stuck on this hamster wheel. Maybe if i wasnt so sensitive 2 meds would hlp. kindest regards leehow

[tintin5187]

Yes, I had a bad experience with anti-depresants. Initially I started with health anxiety after a horrible freak viral infection so I found the side-effects made me worse. So now I am scared of medication full stop. I know lots of ppl who have precivered with meds and they really do help so If your doc thinks best for you just go with it and remember some can take up to 2 weeks to start feeling better. My phycotherapist was really young too, prob couple years younger than me, (im 25)! I never found a definitive reason as to why I was suffering with depression & anixety, Which at first I found really hard to deal with, then i just put it down to an accumulation of things, Which I think maybe why you are feeling the way you are. Try not to dwell on why this has happened to you just think about ways in which you can make yourself feel better. If your meds do start working they will give you some breathing space to confidently get the help. I know exactly how you feel stuck in the hamster wheel. Just do lots of self-help to get off it. lots of baby steps, dont be to hard on yourself & dont set yourself targets that are just impossible to reach. It will only put you down more. Keep your chin up, It will get better with time, I know it just sometimes feels like a million miles away but you will get through the otherside. Keep Strong. love tintin. x x
